“China – Communist Slave State”

Olaf Scholz won’t dump China. Will Europe ever learn?

It was early fall, 1959. A senior official from Mao’s China was leading a mission to Kyiv, then part of the Soviet Union. He inspected factories, learned about state planning, and took an afternoon boat trip on the Dnipro River with his 30-plus comrades. It’s nothing like the Ukraine his son has to deal with today.

Xi Zhongxun, father of the current Chinese President Xi Jinping, led the visit. As secretary-general of the State Council, the government arm of the Communist Party, Xi the senior spent a total of four days in what is now Ukraine’s capital. The trip also took him to Moscow and Prague, and apparently left a mark on the boy who would one day run the only powerful Communist Party left standing on earth.

Will China inspire Trudeau to expand fossil-fuel resources?

Much of the international news coverage of the Chinese Communist Party’s quinquennial congress, which wrapped up last weekend, focused on the ruling autocrats’ increasingly belligerent foreign policy.

Also, the way President Xi Jinping’s ruthless enforcement of his “zero-COVID” policy still has more than 200 million citizens under complete lockdown (no leaving their apartments, no ordering in meals or groceries), which is affecting international supply chains.

Our government functions beneath high-school level intelligence.

Pope criticised for renewing Xi deal as trial of Cardinal Joseph Zen reopens

The renewal of a controversial secret deal between the Vatican and China on the joint appointment of bishops has come at an embarrassing moment for the Pope, fanning international criticism of what has been characterised as moral appeasement on the part of the Holy See.

The announcement came on the day that President Xi consolidated his dictatorial powers at the climax of the 20th Chinese Communist Party congress and four days before the reopening of the trial of Cardinal Joseph Zen for helping to fund the legal costs of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong.

Inside the Secret Prisoner Swap That Splintered the U.S. and China

A pair of prison vans approached the terminal at Tianjin Binhai International Airport carrying two Canadians, blindfolded and disoriented from 1,019 days in captivity.

On the moonlit tarmac, an unmarked U.S. Gulfstream jet waited to take them home. Nearby, the Canadian ambassador paced the carpeted lounge.

Fifteen time zones away, an Air China Boeing 777 stood ready at Vancouver International Airport. Armed officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police kept watch in the terminal. A Chinese executive in Manolo Blahnik heels strode past them, carrying a bag with a Carolina Herrera dress shaded the same vibrant red as China’s flag and trailed by an entourage of lawyers, aides and diplomats who called her Madam Meng. She, too, was headed home.

Xi Jinping’s Rising Dictatorship May End Up Benefiting US

China’s leader steals the Communist Party’s show at its National Congress.

China’s 20th National Congress has concluded, and it was the Xi Jinping show. The Chinese Communist Party general secretary and Chinese president — the first role is by far his most important — reigned supreme, winning a third term and the opportunity to rule for life. He loaded the leadership with his flunkies, emptied Beijing of anyone not prepared to do a full forehead-to-floor kowtow when he enters the room, and avoided promoting anyone who could be considered a rival or even successor.

Hostile countries, China and Russia are targeting Canadian activists, journalists, security agency says

Hostile countries, a group that includes China and Russia, are targeting foreign nationals and diaspora populations in Canada, as well as activists and journalists, according to the Communications Security Establishment.

“State-sponsored cyberthreat actors almost certainly” target those groups in order “to monitor and control these individuals,” Canada’s cyber defense agency said in a new report. The tools they use include “content monitoring on foreign-based applications, social media-enabled activity and espionage against individuals using spyware.”

We have Bigger Fish to worry about than Russia or China … The enemy within aka the Liberal Party.

Chinese police operatives operating in Canada, U.S. says in new court filing

A recently unsealed indictment in the United States alleges that Beijing’s overseas campaign to put pressure on Chinese nationals to return and face criminal charges in the People’s Republic China includes enforcement efforts on Canadian soil.

These U.S. accusations have come to light about six weeks after Spain-based human rights group Safeguard Defenders alleged three of China’s more than 50 overseas police stations are operating in Toronto. China’s embassy in Canada has denied this.

Once again foreign nations, in this case Spain and the USA , are the source of information Canadians were in the dark about.

How China Threatens the Midterms

A pro-China online network is attempting to undermine voter confidence ahead of the midterms in one of several disinformation campaigns targeting the United States, cybersecurity firm Mandiant said on Wednesday.

Researchers at the Google subsidiary said the campaign by “Dragonbridge,” a known information operation with alleged links to Beijing, may signal China’s official entry into U.S. election interference. However, it hasn’t been very effective.

Dubious online accounts have been pushing narratives including a claim that APT41, a hacking group with alleged ties to China’s Ministry of State Security, is backed by the U.S. government, Mandiant said. Others allege U.S. involvement in the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions.

Hmmm … I am not convinced the US Deep State didn’t destroy the Nord Stream Pipelines. It’s a fact they conspired to bring down a legitimately elected President making them capable of any crime no matter how heinous in my view.

RCMP investigating Chinese ‘police’ stations in Canada

The RCMP says it’s investigating Chinese “police” stations in Canada.

This comes after the Spain-based human rights group Safeguard Defenders reported that more than 50 exist worldwide, including three in the Greater Toronto Area in predominantly Chinese communities.

They include a residential home and single-storey commercial building in Markham and a convenience store in Scarborough.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan is coming

The recent Communist Party congress and other signs show Xi is preparing for war

This October, at the Twentieth National Party Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Xi Jinping was elected to a third term as chairman. “The New Mao” — so has rung the common refrain.
It’s an entirely accurate assessment. The very existence of the two-term-limit precedent that Xi has now broken was set in place by Mao’s successor, Deng Xiaoping, in 1982. The reasoning behind the term limit was to prevent the cult-of-personality chaos that Mao and his sycophants had whipped up during his untrammeled, ruler-for-life tenure at the helm of the Chinese state. Deng wanted to make China rich enough so its citizens wouldn’t care that they were not free. To do that, he needed law and order, not proto-woke Red Guards beating up middle school teachers.

Chinese Officers Used ‘Fake’ Think Tank To Recruit Agents In America, DOJ Alleges

The Department of Justice unveiled allegations against Chinese nationals, including three intelligence officers working for China’s state security agency, of using a fake think tank to recruit espionage agents in the U.S. on Monday.

The indictment accuses Wang Lin and three others of a “wide-ranging and systematic effort” to recruit U.S. citizens, including professors at U.S. universities and a former federal law enforcement and state homeland security official, as well as others, to conduct espionage activities on behalf of the Chinese government’s Ministry of State Security (MSS). For at least a decade, the individuals used the Institute for International Studies (IIS) at the Ocean University of China, which Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco described as a “fake think tank,” as a front for their intelligence operations.

Politburo Standing Committee: Who are the men that rule China now?

The Chinese Communist Party has finally unveiled the men who will rule China for the next five years.

The Politburo Standing Committee is China’s equivalent of the presidential cabinet.

It is considered the elite of the elite within the party, and getting to the top often requires not only a stellar political track record, but also deft manoeuvring of internal rivalries.

It is not unusual to see big reshuffles of the Standing Committee after a term ends, and this time it is no different.

McKinsey still can’t shake Dominic Barton’s reign of error … or Canada’s China Class at work

Justin Trudeau and Dominic Barton – Canada’s China class

…. Mr. Barton, who served as Canada’s ambassador to China until late 2021, does not come off well in the book. Indeed, most of the scandals that have haunted McKinsey in recent years originated during his tenure – from its work advising Purdue Pharma on how to “turbocharge” OxyContin sales (for which it paid US$641-million last year to settle legal claims with several U.S. states) to the laying of criminal charges last month by South African authorities over McKinsey’s work for the country’s state-owned freight-rail operator.

Trudeau and Barton both enjoy the taste of Xi Jinping’s arse.

China, Vatican extend deal on bishop appointments

A 2018 arrangement aims to ease a longstanding divide between an underground flock loyal to the pope and a state-backed official church. Critics say it accommodates Beijing communist government.

China and the Vatican extended a secretive deal regarding the appointment of bishops in the communist country.

Under the agreement, which has never been made public, the Vatican and Beijing agreed jointly to appoint bishops but Pope Francis has the final say.

The deal was signed in September 2018 and is still provisional but has been renewed twice.

“The Vatican Party is committed to continuing a respectful and constructive dialogue with the Chinese Party for a productive implementation of the Accord and further development of bilateral relations, with a view to fostering the mission of the Catholic Church and the good of the Chinese people,” the Holy See Press Office said on Saturday.
